The source of information and communication with Sister Madeline Thelin of the Puerto Rico, San Juan mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Note from Madeline’s father,
This is all we received from Madeline for today’s email:
Me voy a puerto rico el miércoles por la mañana.
<I’m going to Puerto Rico on Wednesday morning.>

Hola a todos,
¿Qué tal? <How are you?>
I got a new dress and a new haircut, so I feel like a new person but it’s still the same little ‘ole me. Not much besides that happened this week. We’ve been cleaning out our investigator pool lately and We’ve decided to revert back to all the things that we have found successful in the past (aka Puerto Rico) and try our best to be the best missionaries we can be. My companion saw me have two too many breakdowns this week and we have come to this conclusion. I need to be more patient.
Hola a todos! <Hello Everyone>
Thank you all for making Christmas magical and fun! I enjoyed every minute of it and I cannot express how much fun the holidays are on the mission. I learned so much and was able to find so many ways to try and be like my savior. How cool is it that even trying to be like him makes us happier people?
Hola a todos! (Hello everyone!)
I was lucky enough to be Hermana Oliver’s last companion and today I sent her off to the mission home. Hence the super late writing. We just got done with this crazy day.
But I’m companions with another Puerto Rican missionary named Hermana Beard. We’re going to be STLs (Sister Training Leaders) and I’m puuuuuumped.

[Quick note from Madeline’s Dad: This will seem like a quick note because most of the email was about ideas for us to send her for Christmas. The holidays are also very busy as a missionary, so she won’t have as much time for writing.]
Hey Y’all AKA Hola a Todos,
I hope you’ve all been doing the #LightTheWorld or #IlluminaElMundo challenge the church put out this year and sharing the daily videos with your testimonies!! Aka, if you’re not doing that, well – I challenge you all to do it starting today. And tag me in your Facebook posts (Madeline Thelin).
Hola a todos! (Hello everyone!)
Last week my cute companion got hit HARD with a cold, which isn’t easy for her because of other health issues, so we spent a lot of it in the house or doing work online. It makes me laugh looking back to last week because I definitely went a little crazy from being inside so much. But I do think it was good for us, we got a lot of organizing done for our work.
Hola a todos!
Disculpa por la carta chiquitita, pero no tengo mucho tiempo hoy por causa de una actividad que hicimos. Pero aquí hay fotos de cuando yo encontré un gato y le dio salchichas. Él se llama Tommy.
Hola a todos (Hello everyone),
Yeah, sorry. Didn’t write for a while. Personal problems. Blah, blah, blah. But I’m back 🙂
Hola a todos <Hello everyone>!
I am not very happy right now. Why you may ask? What can make a missionary in sunny southern California with a baptism planned and a birthday coming up unhappy? Well, I’ll answer it plainly to you all: bed bugs. Bed FREAKING bugs.
